People have, but unless you have a *serious* need for it, it's not a good
idea. The ARM chip used in the iPAQ has no hardware floating-point number
support, so using floating-point numbers is (compared to, for example, a
desktop machine with hardware support) very slow. mpg123 uses floats
heavily, so it will use up to (or even more than) the entire CPU time to
play an MP3.
We tend to use madplay, which is an integer-only MP3 player. It produces
pretty good quality, while only using a few percent of the CPU time. If you
need something which is command-line compatible with mpg123, mpg321 is
available, based on the madplay engine, from http://people.debian.org/~drew/
